WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
13.1 The laundry load
• Divide the laundry into: white,
coloured, synthetics, delicates and
wool.
• Follow the washing instructions on the
laundry care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured items
together.
• Some coloured items can discolour
with the first wash. We recommend
that you wash them separately for the
first couple of times.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and
items with printed illustrations inside
out.
• Pre-treat stubborn stains.
• Wash stubborn stains with a special
detergent.
• Be careful with curtains. Remove the
hooks and put the curtains in a
washing bag or pillowcase.
• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase leading
to excessive vibration. If this occurs:
a. interrupt the programme and
open the door (refer to "Daily
Use" chapter);
Press the Ein /Aus button to activate
the appliance again.
• After 5 minutes from the end of the
washing programme
Press the Ein /Aus button to activate
the appliance again.
The display shows the end of the last
set programme.
Turn the programme dial to set a new
cycle.
If you set a programme or an
option that ends with water
in the drum, the Stand-by
function doesn't deactivate
the appliance to remind you
to drain the water.
b. manually redistribute the load so
that the items are spaced evenly
around the tub;
c. press the Start/Pause button.
The spin phase continues.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts,
cords, shoelaces, ribbons and any
other loose elements.
• Do not wash laundry without hems or
with cuts. Use a washing bag to wash
small and/or delicate items (e.g.
underwired bras, belts, tights,
shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).
• Empty pockets and unfold the items.
Page 29
ENGLISH 29
13.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these
stains before you put the items in the
appliance.
Special stain removers are available.
Use the special stain remover that is
applicable to the type of stain and fabric.
13.3 Detergent type and quantity
The choice of detergent and use of
correct quantities not only affects your
wash performance, but also helps to
avoid waste and protect the environment:
• Use only detergents and other
treatments specially made for
washing machines. First, follow these
generic rules:
– powder detergents for all types of
fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer
powder detergents containing
bleach for whites and laundry
sanitization,
– liquid detergents, preferably for
low temperature wash
programmes (60 °C max) for all
types of fabric, or special ones for
woollens only.
• The choice and quantity of detergent
will depend on: type of fabric
(delicates, woollens, cottons, etc), the
colour of clothes, size of the load,
degree of soiling, wash temperature
and hardness of the water used.
• Follow the instructions that you find
on packaging of the detergents or
other treatments without exceeding
the indicated maximum level ( ).
• Do not mix different types of
detergents.
• Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load,
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– there is large amounts of foam
during washing.
• When using detergent tabs or pods,
always put them inside the drum, not
in the detergent dispenser.
Insufficient detergent may cause:
• unsatisfactory washing results,
• the wash load to turn grey,
• greasy clothes,
• mould in the appliance.
Excessive detergent may cause:
• sudsing,
• reduced washing effect,
• inadequate rinsing,
• a greater impact for the environment.
13.4 Ecological hints
To save water, energy and to help
protect the environment, we recommend
that you follow these tips:
• Loading the appliance to the
maximum capacity indicated for
each programmes helps to reduce
energy and water consumption.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains
and limited soiling can be removed;
the laundry can then be washed at a
lower temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of
detergent, refer to the quantity
suggested by the detergent producer
and check the water hardness of you
domestic system. Refer to 'Water
hardness'.
• Set the maximum possible spin
speed for the selected washing
programme before drying your
laundry in a tumble dryer. This will
save energy during drying!
13.5 Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you
use a water softener for washing
machines. In areas where the water
hardness is soft it is not necessary to use
a water softener.
To find out the water hardness in your
area, contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of water
softener. Follow the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
